Yes, this is what I think would be best -- create a chain of data
that was not submitted. Then the re-submit tool would be able to
grok the chain, get relevant ID numbers, paste them in downstream
(or, more likely, submit early phases, and have downstream phases
look upstream to get the relevant IDs -- just like it occurs in the
MTT client).
The more I think about this, the more that I think that having a
"submitted" flag in the local meta data in the MTT client might be
easiest. This might reduce the amount of logic we have to write
(i.e., the logic of grabbing the upstream phase IDs might be able to
be re-used and be less susceptible to breakage if we change formats/
protocols in the future -- i.e., it would only be 1 place to update,
not 2).
I know we have talked about this concept before, but it was always a
time/monkeys argument to actually implement it.
https://svn.open-mpi.org/trac/mtt/ticket/158
(not quite the "submitted" flag idea, but just the desire to be able
to resubmit)
Also similar to
https://svn.open-mpi.org/trac/mtt/ticket/32
A short term fix for Cisco might be to be able to try multiple
proxies in the event of "connection refused" (we have multiple
proxies available -- probably greatly reduces the chances of failure
if we have the ability to fail over to try others). This does not
help SVN checkouts, though -- we cannot configure those [easily] via
the INI file. That would take a bit more work (SVN checkouts do not
obey environment variable proxy settings -- you have to change a SVN
config file).
